The water simply went back into the ocean (the flood was a vast local flood from the melting of the glaciers at the end of the last ice age)

Some think the moon was a viable placement (hence its "seas"), some think Mars (hence its "channels"), I think Neptune.

You might as well postulate a trans-dimensional portal to another, alternate earth in another universe. That way you don't have the interference from the pesky science that actually show us what those planets and the moon are made of. Or you might consider transforming the water into dark matter.

Or you might use a planet in a whole other solar system. Why not? Use a worm hole to move it.

C'mon, you haven't read enough science fiction!

Science describes physical reality, using religion to debate physical reality is really missing the point IMO and also very unproductive as reality always win out in the end.

This is precisely where modern science went off the correct path in the search for truth when dealing with origins. Science says: “in the beginning the big bang,” which is a non-scientific mystery. The good book says: “in the beginning God, which is a mystery as well.”

Most great science men who preceded modernity had no problem with the supernatural. They did their research in order to understand the way the great designer arranged matter. We can do the same. There is no need to prove the existence of the great designer. His activity is evidenced by what we observe in nature.

Modern science assumes that nature can explain itself. Old science’s premise was that nature provided the evidence for the designer.

Science says that the universe started out very hot and very dense. We have the evidence for that. It isn't a mystery.

Most great science men who preceded modernity had no problem with the supernatural. They did their research in order to understand the way the great designer arranged matter.

I guess you don't know about the real history of science where new scientific discoveries where thought to be heretical and against one religion or another.

Modern science assumes that nature can explain itself. Old science’s premise was that nature provided the evidence for the designer.

Are you unaware of the spectacular success of science over the last 250 years?

As me what I think the Ark was, and how it could handle ten times the number of animals that boarded it.

You have already acknowledged you have little knowledge about science, but are able to state science went off the tracks?

So, if science went off the tracks, tell us about the scientific evidence that supports claims in the bible.

We are still waiting for your explanation of the 4.5 billion year history of radioactive decay found in rocks.
Embedded Age is maturity without history.

Here is one example. BTW, Dr. Roth is a man who shares my views about origins.

Nic, I've read through the article a couple of times and honestly, his argument makes no sense at all. Missing layers of sediment is not a valid argument. It doesn't even deal with radiometric dating, rather erosion rates and where the sediment went. The sediment went into the Pacific Ocean via the Colorado River and by way of the San Andreas fault (a transform fault) has moved north and is off the coast of California. He also keeps throwing out erosion rates and applying them as constants. You can't do that, especially on the scale he is describing. The man is a biologist, not a geologist.

Are you a geologist?

I have an M.S. in Earth Science from the Univ. of Memphis, 1977. The degree focuses on three areas, Geology, Oceanography, and Climatology. My thesis was on the occurrence and causes of ice ages. I also have 25 + years experience as a research chemist. I am well rounded in the areas of Sedimentology and Stratigraphy, Sedimentary Petrology, and Geochemistry.

So his area is biology, why is he publishing something in the area of sedimentology?

A friend of his challenged him to get into this field, and he accepted this after getting the proper training. Read again his bio.
